ABC News Online: NATO is suffering from a 'brain death' — the EU is the cure, says Emmanuel Macron
French President Emmanuel Macron says Washington's antipathy to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) alliance is causing its "brain death", which should prompt the European Union (EU) to step up as a world power.
"What we are currently experiencing is the brain death of NATO," Mr Macron told The Economist magazine.
He said the United States under President Donald Trump appeared to be turning its back on Europe, notably by pulling troops out of North–East Syria without notice.

...and BAM goes another irony meter. Every NATO nation has been coasting on the back of the US for decades. Maintaining social programs and welfare states instead of standing up a military. Opening their borders to an Arab invasion then of course providing housing, food, medical and education to every one of them. That would be the "Brain Death", Macron.
If it takes a light weight like Macron to call out the obvious demise of intellectualism in Europe, you know we are in trouble
And Merkel, again, instead of lifting Europe to new heights, does what she does best.. f*ck it all up
NATO should have been dissolved long ago or at minimum on letting Turkey in.
Finally some good news. Trump ordered to pay personally $2 million.

BDK wishes to be a co-traveler in that journey of change and keep public informed about the developments therein. Also of considerable significance is the widely expected mega-expansion of civil aviation sector that would necessitate global aviation giants to enter Indian market and set footprints in a region that is likely to become the suppliers of low-cost high-tech skills to maintain competitiveness in long run. India Defence news BDK is committed to increase public awareness about the opportunities arising from these events. Lastly, the portal also intends to become a one stop solution provider to the needs of retired soldiers who are widely dispersed in our geography but are gradually accessible through a fast growing online world.
